Basically they insert the probe into exhaust pipe, which measures CO, CO2, HC and O2 in real time. If mixture is stochiometric and catalyst works, HC, O2 and CO will be low.

Why would you want to do such thing (remove lambda sensor) in the first place? Car are programmed to run rich at WOT anyway, so you wouldn't gain any power.
